re: #1 lawhawk

Now, let’s take the devil’s advocate position. You would need such a series of highly improbable events for anything Trump says about Mueller and this investigation to be accurate. Trump would need people to think that Mueller, who his own people picked, is somehow deep state out to get him. Rosenstein and other GOPers are also deep state out to get him. Whitaker as acting AG also nodded in assent to go ahead with this deal.

Oh yeah, that’s right - Whitaker knows damned well that he can’t and shouldn’t interfere here either, because that too will come to light, and he’s got the same issues Sessions had (probably someone else in his office reminding him that the DOJ serves the US, not Trump).
